Morning fire rips through Lorain house

LORAIN -- A house fire erupted at 3259 Lincoln Road around 11 a.m. this morning, leaving the house unlivable due to the damage, according to Assistant Chief Roy Cochran.

"It is repairable," Cochran said. "However, they will not be able to live in it for quite some time."

While the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, Cochran said that a member of the family had been using the stove. After finishing with the stove, the occupant turned it off and went to to take a shower. While in the shower, the fire began.

The family of three were able to escape without any injuries.

LifeCare was called in to take the mother and the 8-month-old baby to the hospital as a precautionary measure, Cochran said.
